Haagen-Dazs' Free Cone Day In DC: Here's The Scoop

WASHINGTON, DC — It's starting to get downright toasty in D.C. What goes better with a sunny spring day than ice cream? How about free ice cream?

Haagen Dazs restaurants are celebrating Free Cone Day on Tuesday, May 8. From 4 to 8 p.m., each customer who comes into a Haagen Dazs location can get a free scoop of any flavor they like in a cup, sugar cone, or cake cone.

The promotion this year is being dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of honey bees.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Häagen-Dazs Loves Honey Bees. On Free Cone Day, consumers visiting the Georgetown location can experience a new VR experience created by Haagen Dazs called The Extraordinary Honey Bee.

Bees help pollinate over one-third of the world's crops, and help in the creation of one-third of the company's most beloved flavors like strawberry, rocky road, mango, and vanilla, says the company.
